Except nova just said they aren't a wolf species... You can be all for saving pure red wolves but the sad fact is, is that its rare to find a pure one these days. Most save the red wolf organizations are just saving COYOTE hybrids.

I'm looking into helping save the red wolves!!! i really wanna help out!

Red wolves are just coyote-timber wolf mixes, btw. They don't really need saving; if you're going to save a wolf species, save Mexican wolves or Vancouver Island wolves.

they are a spiecies of wolves and need to be saved and i can think that

Except it's incredibly rare to find a pure red wolf, since most red wolves are just coyote hybrids. In all honesty, the red wolves that all those organizations are saving are just hybrids, and they don't need anybody to save them. You can be all for saving PURE red wolves, however, like Lupen said.

But why would you want to save a hybrid? Coyotes are overpopulated and the last thing we need are coyote hybrids. We need to focus on saving and breeding the few pure red wolves left, not focusing on inbred mixes.

There is 90 pure red wolves in the world all in north carolina i know they are rare but why not save the mixes even if there is no point the whole reason most of the red wolves are dead is because killing of the mixes of red wolves and cayotes!

actually, the hybrids and coyotes are one of the main reasons they're going extinct. they keep interbreeding with coyotes and hybrids, and they're a huge threat to their recovery as the number of actual red wolves is quickly dropping due to interbreeding and competition.
less coyotes and hybrids = more pure red wolves. in order for red wolves to keep up a stable population, the number of hybrids and coyotes in the area must be lowered by quite a lot.

Wolves are very similar to people, so there emotions change.
